What is that plant?
My girlfriend planted sunflowers in that pot but something else started growing. We can’t identify it. Can you help?https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/32e9c192-1a2c-4a07-b57d-cbc9aba22749.jpeg

conditional_soup, Looks a hell of a lot like stinging nettle at a glance. Do the leaves have angry little hairs on them that hurt to touch? Congratulations, you likely have A N G E R Y spinach, use hot water or a hot pack to decompose the venom (formic acid, which is heat labile a little below 100f) and cook the leaves for a delicious spinachy snack.
cyborganism, Oh shoot. That’s what I thought but I was surprised it could end up in our pot. I’ll be careful then.
Oisteink, Looks like brennesle
cyborganism, Aw crap. Yeah it does look like that.
Oisteink, It’s a great plant!! Edible and stores nitrogen so it’s great as fertiliser

Don‘t Touch the leaves😉
